whitepaper Discoverer: Automatic Protocol Reverse Engineering From Network Traces2007-05-15 Microsoft
  Application-level protocol specifications are useful for many security applications, including intrusion prevention and detection that performs deep packet inspection and traffic normalization, and penetration testing that generates network inputs to an application to uncover potential vulnerabilities. However, current practice in deriving protocol specifications is mostly manual. This paper presents Discoverer, a tool for automatically reverse engineering the protocol message formats of an application from its network trace. A key property of Discoverer is that it operates in a protocol-independent fashion by inferring protocol idioms commonly seen in message formats of many application-level protocols.

whitepaper Vocalocity PBX: What SMBs Should Know About Deploying a Hosted PBX Phone Solution2007-04-03 vocalocity
  Hosted PBX phone solutions are revolutionizing how Small and Medium-sized Businesses (SMBs) serve their customers, grow their business, and support their employees. Delivering the same enterprise-level, professional phone system capabilities large businesses use at a much lower cost, hosted PBX is helping SMBs save money while putting their customer services on par with much larger organizations. While large enterprises have begun leveraging the cost advantages and robust capabilities of enterprise IP (Internet Protocol) telephony, on-site IP PBX (Private Branch eXchange) systems can require significant initial investment and ongoing operational costs that put them out of reach for SMBs.

whitepaper Beyond Carrier Ethernet: Making Ethernet Performance-Grade2007-04-01 Ciena
  Off late, virtually all new end-user and most new machine-to-machine applications are designed around the Internet Protocol (IP). Within 99 percent of Local Area Networks (LANs), Ethernet is used to carry those IP packets. Furthermore, Ethernet can carry almost all of the remaining traffic that is not IP-based, making it a natural candidate for enabling convergence. This paper is currently at the beginning of a huge ramp in network bandwidth demand due to the low cost of storage and computing power fueling the growth in video and imaging applications. Throughout its history, Ethernet has proven a unique ability to scale to higher and higher bandwidth while drastically reducing the cost per bit.

whitepaper Wireless Mobile Ad-Hoc Network Protocols and Evaluation With Model Checking2007-02-28 Harvard University
  A Mobile Ad-hoc NETwork (MANET) is a wireless network set up temporarily without a wired infrastructure (routers, switches, servers, cables, access points, etc.). The wireless nodes in a MANET may move around and each one of them may need to forward packets for other components in the network. Because they can be deployed quickly, MANETs could be used for disaster rescue, battle field communication, sensor networks, etc. this paper focuses on investigating the specific properties that a wireless routing protocol needs to satisfy, evaluating existing wireless routing protocols with model checking, and designing better protocols.

whitepaper TechNet Webcast: Why Deploy Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6)? (Level 200)0000-00-00 Microsoft
  This webcast explains how IPv6 is designed to solve many issues within the current version of IP, Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). The webcast discusses the limitations in IPv4, like address depletion, security, auto-configuration, and extensibility, and explore how IPv6 addresses these issues, while introducing a new addressing structure.

whitepaper Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and Telnet Sessions Buffer Overflow0000-00-00 Cisco Systems
  Cisco Systems has released Cisco Security Advisory: Cisco IOS Firewall Authentication Proxy for FTP and Telnet Sessions Buffer Overflow. This paper describes the Firewall Authentication Proxy (Auth-Proxy) feature and discusses the workarounds and mitigations identified in the advisory. The firewall authentication proxy feature allows network administrators to apply specific security policies on a per-user basis.

whitepaper University Uses Existing Windows Investments to Tighten Network Security and Management0000-00-00 Microsoft
  The Universidade de Vila Velha (UVV) in Brazil is host to 14,000 students. Like most universities, UVV provides computer resources for its students, faculty, and administrative staff. To ensure better security, UVV kept its faculty and staff network separate from the student network. But managing separate networks was difficult and became increasingly expensive as the university continued to grow. In 2005, UVV implemented a highly secure network using a Server and Domain Isolation solution based on Internet Protocol security (IPsec). The solution allowed the school's two networks to coexist on a single physical network.

whitepaper HPTP: Relieving the Tension Between ISPs and P2P2007-01-27 Microsoft
  Measurement-based studies indicate that there is a severe tension between P2P applications and ISPs. This paper proposes a novel HTTP-based Peer-To-Peer (HPTP) framework to relieve this tension. The key idea is to exploit the widely deployed web cache proxies of ISPs to trick them to cache P2P traffic. This is achieved via a process the authors refer to as "HTTPifying": the authors segment large P2P files or streams into smaller chunks, encapsulate and transport them using the HTTP protocol so that they are cacheable and outline the design of several key tools of the proposed HPTP framework - HTTPifying, cache detection and usability test tools, and describe a Cache-Aware Tree Construction (CATC) protocol for delivering P2P streaming traffic as an example to showcase the HPTP framework.
